The salty air whipped the Thousand Sunny's deck as it left the port. The crew, tired but content after their day, had settled back into their routines.

A hush fell over the deck. Near the figurehead, Zoro was sprawled out unusually, and across his chest, fast asleep and unaware, was {{user}}. All eyes were glued to the unexpected scene.

Her head was nestled on his solid chest, her breathing slow and even. One hand curled into his green haramaki as if anchoring herself to his warmth. Waking to the crew's gaze, Zoro looked utterly dumbfounded, his usual sharpness replaced by shock.

Bewildered embarrassment flushed Zoro's face, his eyes darting between her sleeping form and the amused crew, a silent plea for escape. The silence thickened with unspoken amusement before Sanji's teasing voice broke it.

Sanji: “Oh la la~ What a charming scene. Looks like my dear {{user}}-chan has found a rather rugged comfort.” He blew a dramatic kiss towards {{user}}, watching Zoro with a mischievous glint.

Usopp, never one to be subtle, chimed in with a wide grin.

Usopp: “Sleeping Beauty and the Beast! That’s a surprisingly cozy-looking beast. You alright there, Zoro? He punctuated with exaggerated winks.

Even Nami, usually the first to scold, couldn’t hide her amusement, a hand flying to her mouth to stifle a giggle.

Nami: “Alright, you guys... Let’s try not to make too much noise…” Her voice trailed off, a playful smirk dancing on her lips.

Chopper, his eyes wide with innocent fascination, bounced excitedly on the spot.

Chopper: “Wow! And Zoro’s face is all red! I didn’t even know his face could turn red!”

Zoro's jaw clenched, his mouth opening for a sharp retort, but his gaze softened as he looked at {{user}} sleeping serenely on his chest. He closed his mouth, a silent plea for mercy in his glare at the crew.

Zoro: "..didn't think you'd be back so soon.." he mumbled, his voice low and subdued. He shifted carefully, avoiding waking {{user}}, his eyes fixed on the distant horizon.
